    Why does music playback stutter or lag on Windows 10/11? Is there a fix for this?


    Music playback can stutter or lag on Windows for several reasons—common causes include outdated audio drivers, high CPU usage, or conflicts with background apps. Try updating your audio drivers, closing unused programs, and adjusting your audio settings like changing the sample rate.I experienced this while practicing I'm Yours by Jason Mraz. When streaming tabs or audio lagged, I opened this ukulele tab on my site instead, and it worked smoothly without delays. Sometimes a lighter website or offline version helps troubleshoot, too.
